Pascoe has lasted six years in the league as a strict blocking specialist, catching just 40 passes in 82 games. Apr 23 - 12:33 PM

Falcons signed TE Bear Pascoe, formerly of the Giants.

A pure blocker, Pascoe caught 12 passes in 16 games last season. He'll have a decent shot at cracking the 53-man roster, but as was the case in New York, will have no fantasy value. Thu, May 1, 2014 04:10:00 PM

The Falcons have not shown any sense of urgency to replace Tony Gonzalez. Kicking the tires on a mere blocker like Pascoe reinforces that. They're angling toward plenty of three- and four-wide formations this season. Thu, May 1, 2014 12:48:00 PM

A blocking specialist, Pascoe saw extensive playing time in two tight-end sets and will likely be brought back to compete for an H-back role under new OC Ben McAdoo. The Star-Ledger believes a two-year, $1.8 million deal could make sense for both sides. Fri, Jan 24, 2014 05:26:00 PM

The Falcons have not shown any sense of urgency to replace Tony Gonzalez. Kicking the tires on a mere blocker like Pascoe reinforces that. They're angling toward plenty of three- and four-wide formations this season.

A blocking specialist, Pascoe saw extensive playing time in two tight-end sets and will likely be brought back to compete for an H-back role under new OC Ben McAdoo. The Star-Ledger believes a two-year, $1.8 million deal could make sense for both sides.

The Giants will use TE Bear Pascoe at fullback if Henry Hynoski (knee surgery) isn't ready for Week 1.

Hynoski will be in a race to get ready for the opener after surgery to repair a damaged left MCL and chip fracture. Lead blocker is an underrated position in Giants OC Kevin Gilbride's system, which at times looked dominant in I-formations last year with Hynoski clearing holes for Ahmad Bradshaw. New York finished the season seventh in the NFL in yards-per-carry average.

Pascoe was set to become a restricted free agent on March 12. Instead, the Giants get their blocking tight end under contract cheaply for 2013. He'll provide some insurance in case Martellus Bennett walks as an unrestricted free agent.

A no-brainer for the G-Men, who could be without both Jake Ballard and Travis Beckum for the entire 2012 season as they recover from torn ACLs. Extremely limited athletically, Pascoe will back-up free agent signee Martellus Bennett after catching 12 passes for 136 yards last season.

With both Jake Ballard and Travis Beckum recovering from torn ACLs, re-signing Pascoe should be a no-brainer for the Giants despite his limited athleticism. Even if Ballard and Beckum both begin 2012 on the PUP list, Pascoe is unlikely to be worth a look in fantasy leagues.

Bear Pascoe caught two passes for 14 yards in New York's Week 17 win over the Giants.

Playing increased snaps in Jake Ballard's second straight absence, Pascoe managed to stand out by hurtling Cowboys CB Terence Newman on both of his grabs. An ordinary blocker who made only 12 catches this season, Pascoe is no guarantee to be back with New York in 2012.

The Giants released Madison Hedgecock and then free agent John Kuhn reportedly took less money than New York was offering to stay in Green Bay. Pascoe is a blocking tight end that will compete with undrafted rookie free agent Henry Hynoski. It's unclear if the Giants have interest in free agent LeRon McClain.

Pascoe played nearly 500 snaps last season -- probably too much for the Giants' liking -- and failed to establish himself as the dominant blocker he's supposed to be. He caught nine passes for 72 yards. Meredith has a wealth of talent, but is on his fourth team after being a 2009 draft pick.

Bears coach John Fox insisted Saturday that first-round pick Kevin White (shin) is "making progress" while on the active/PUP list.

White is dealing with some sort of shin injury while also working to improve his cardio, which essentially means he's out of shape. "It’s fair to say he is doing (cardio work) at some level, some phase," Fox said. "He’s making progress." White has missed multiple practices now since Bears camp started.
